Login to CrackBerry.com and leave a comment to this blog post for your chance to possibly win a BlackBerry Storm 2. Full Contest Details Below!
There's lots of buzz around the interwebs today that the BlackBerry Storm 2 could be hitting store shelves much sooner than most of us would think, with rumors suggesting a release as early as before the end of this month or sometime in June. As much as I would LOVE for this to pan out to be true, my CrackBerry gut says we'll all have to wait a little longer than that to get our hands on a store-purchased model.
Our best info right now slates pre-production of the next generation Storm (which RIM internally refers to by the codename BlackBerry "Odin") to begin early next month and from there an official release is usually a couple months out (VZW's technical acceptance process usually takes 2-3 weeks on a device, so even if they approved it off the first pre-production run we'd still be looking at July). And this is Verizon were talking about here... the pickiest of the carriers... who also have the BlackBerry Tour 9630 to roll out still and after a less-than-stellar Storm 1 experience won't want to put out Storm 2 until it's ready. And they won't want to stack the 9630/Storm 2 releases too close to eachother. At this point, I'd rate a May release as impossible, a June launch as potentially possible but improbable, a July release as targeted/more realistic but tight (think end of the month, fingers crossed), an August launch as more likely but if you throw in the usual BlackBerry/Verizon delays then I wouldn't even be suprised to see it launch later than that. As always in the world of BlackBerry, all will be known with time.
Storm 2 Before the End of June Contest: Let's have some fun here! I'd love to see a June launch happen. I really would. I just don't think it will. So to that end, we'll take a gamble and run one helluva contest.... LEAVE a comment to this blog post. For every day that the BlackBerry Storm 2 is on sale in the month of June 2009 we'll give one away to a CrackBerry member. So if the Storm 2 is available for purchase on June 1st, we'll give away 30 Storm 2's over the course of the month. If it's available on June 15th, we'll give away 16. If it's available on the 30th, we'll give away one. And if it doesn't go up for sale in June at all, we'll give away none. Should make for an interesting month, huh? Leave a comment for your chance to win!

Heres hoping to a June release as well! I would like to get my hands on the storm 2
paddywhacked26 May 19, 2009 at 7:06 pm
Hmm...so now I hope it get released pretty soon now.
jdamydavis May 19, 2009 at 7:06 pm
Was not all that pleased with the first storm, but the storm 2 is intriguing. I want it, and want it sooner than later but don’t think that will happen. I think RIM is playing smart and keeping its name in the June game because word is out that it’s going to be a big month for new cell phones. December (Christmas)
Big-J-21 May 19, 2009 at 7:06 pm
Put me down for a Storm 2.
Tommy G-Rubz May 19, 2009 at 7:06 pm
please don't pick that crazy guy!
Licoeur May 19, 2009 at 7:06 pm
The Storm 2 has to be mine; it will be mine. I need to win if it's released in June!
jpattersonlee May 19, 2009 at 7:07 pm
I'm surprised it didn't even take a year to get a new version of it out. I didn't get the original Storm, but I might have to take a look at this one.
GrogIam May 19, 2009 at 7:07 pm
to replace my Storm 1...
bbaulier May 19, 2009 at 7:07 pm
Pick me
carter225 May 19, 2009 at 7:07 pm
OMG !!!
sease15 May 19, 2009 at 7:07 pm
BUT it would be nice if the Storm 2 did come out in June. I would feel somewhat shafted if the Storm 2 came out less than 6 months after the first Storm, but you can't stop progress. RIM may not have gotten it perfect with Storm 1 or even Storm 2, but I really feel they are onto something and eventually (even if 20 years down the line) I feel they will reign as mobile touchscreen King. Apple can't ride off of the "no background application" train forever. Eventually users will realize what running multiple applications can do for productivity and RIM will more than likely rise to the challenge.
brinklej May 19, 2009 at 7:07 pm
Storm 1.0 user, no storm .5 sounds more like it but its time for a changed please let me win storm 2.0!!!!
Chads10R May 19, 2009 at 7:07 pm
I like my 1st Gen but a free Storm 2, count me in! Thanks CrackBerry!
js23ds#cb May 19, 2009 at 7:07 pm
free stuff is good stuff
me071852 May 19, 2009 at 7:07 pm
obviously i want one
GentMAB May 19, 2009 at 7:07 pm
I believe this will be a pretty good phone but I don't feel like they should take the Surepress system off, but either way I WANT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
jcmusicman May 19, 2009 at 7:08 pm
Hope I win!
NemesisMind May 19, 2009 at 7:08 pm
Let's be realistic... June 1st would be awesome, though.
Zerohrk314 May 19, 2009 at 7:08 pm
I realllllyyy hope so.
TU_Buckeye29 May 19, 2009 at 7:08 pm
Just when I had my heart set on spending money for a new 9630 when it comes out.... I would be equally content to win a Storm 2, I tell ya.
xxxv55vxxx May 19, 2009 at 7:08 pm
Please come in june. I would love a storm 2 to replace my current storm
MarcSt May 19, 2009 at 7:09 pm
Wow, you guys now how to play the odds. But count me in!
rickjamess May 19, 2009 at 7:09 pm
I'm a storm owner, and very torn about if I want the new storm out or not. If it comes out this summer, I think I'll be pretty pissed since I bought mine in January and I'm not a fan of the laggy .75 OS. Thank goodness for the leaked betas...
ostaylor May 19, 2009 at 7:09 pm
I hope the Storm2 addresses some of the shortcomings of the Storm and that the typing experience is really great!

douglas_c17 May 19, 2009 at 7:10 pm
But I think we ALL know that it won't be out by June. But, worth a shot, right?
123BigRed May 19, 2009 at 7:10 pm
I'm hoping that Ill be one of the lucky ones...I love the Storm, but a new Storm 2 would be fantastic!
rafa2044 May 19, 2009 at 7:10 pm

So, I stumbled onto this site and have gained much knowledge from the forums and blogs.
Now you’re telling me that I have a chance to win a Blackberry Storm 2.
I love Crackberry!
bishopneo May 19, 2009 at 7:10 pm
Here's hoping it does come in June so I can stop waiting to take advantage of my free upgrade ;)
Jim from NW Pa May 19, 2009 at 7:10 pm
I hope they get this right
hockeyfan427 May 19, 2009 at 7:11 pm
I currently have a Storm. I'm fairly happy with it, but it definitely has room for improvement. If Big Red releases before January first, I may be a bit upset. Unless I win one of these. LOL!
dshade69 May 19, 2009 at 7:11 pm
I hope it comes out in June and I win, only way I will be getting one since i'm only 6 months into my contract with the storm.
secretsexyninja May 19, 2009 at 7:11 pm
hhaaha june first it is!! heres to winning (HA)
lampmanm May 19, 2009 at 7:11 pm
i wonder if they want to push it out around the same time the new iphone come out
DaddyNautilus May 19, 2009 at 7:11 pm
Ill have one of those sir. And by the way, if it comes out June 22nd, I would like two. One because I was never able to get Storm 1 and still have no cell since that is the only phone I want, and 2, for making me create a bookmark folder for the thousand of apps I want to install on my phone when I finally get one.
SOADFreak1989 May 19, 2009 at 7:11 pm
I waited outside in the freezing cold at 4am for the Storm and had to live with it... I need Storm v2 and how!
kaah May 19, 2009 at 7:11 pm

Coming off a 8330 Curve this Storm 2 would be sick, sure hope it is truly coming out and if I win this that would be awesome but if not I will just have to pony up! Be well!
HeavyToka May 19, 2009 at 7:13 pm
I'll Take it! I could use a new phone
dlovell3 May 19, 2009 at 7:13 pm
Please may I have a storm 2 please.
cbuck May 19, 2009 at 7:13 pm
I AM NOT SORRY FOR THE CAPS, BECAUSE I AM INDEED SHOUTING DUE TO COMPLETE AND TOTAL EXCITEMENT!!! THERE IS ONLY A VERY SHORT LIST OF THINGS THAT I WOULDN'T DO FOR A STORM 2... AND THIS IS IT:
1) ANYTHING AGAINST THE LAW WITH AN ANIMAL. LOL
IF THIS IS TO COME TRUE... I AM FOREVER IN DEBT TO YOU KEVIN. (BRING ON THE BAD JOKES AT MY EXPENSE, HAHA)
astrodad May 19, 2009 at 7:13 pm
if i don't get it for free, i'm buying it after selling storm 1, LoL
tshark May 19, 2009 at 7:13 pm
Hook me up! Please! Would make me a little less upset that a new Storm Phone will be coming out sooner than another Storm OS Update!
nugo74 May 19, 2009 at 7:13 pm

Maddog24g May 19, 2009 at 7:14 pm
Too good to be true.
sparkliai May 19, 2009 at 7:14 pm
This sounds like a wonderful Father's Day present. And since my dad is a Verizon customer, I'll just keep my fingers crossed! He needs to be pulled into the 21st century. He's got the oldest camera phone I've EVER seen lol!

My original Storm broke the 4th day I had it during work and I don't have the money to replace it and I'm a die-hard Storm fan and want nothing but a Storm (now I want a Storm 2). I hope I win so I can get rid of my cracked+chipped+button-missing Storm 1!!!

chicagoan May 19, 2009 at 7:17 pm
Not Again!
There was way *2* much hype over the
launch of the original Storm.
If RIM can get it right the *2nd* time, fix
the 1st.

im gonna leave a comment to enter the contest, but would i really want to take a chance on a storm 2 after all the problems with storm 1? shouldnt verizon be giving them away to us storm 1 owners?
djdeerock May 19, 2009 at 7:17 pm
I would LOVE a storm 2 to replace my storm 1! I don't hate my storm as much as most people, in fact, I have really enjoyed it. However, a new Berry is always exciting, and there are a few features that REALLY need updating. lol
vykacet May 19, 2009 at 7:17 pm
my storm is a glorified paper weight.
would my storm 2 be any different?
ps - i love that the storm 2 will be out before an upgraded OS is officially launched for the Storm 1
charolem May 19, 2009 at 7:17 pm
Too much fun! I'm waiting to see this one. Love my 8703e, but I'm feeling my eyes wander to other models - don't tell, she gets upset when she sees me do this.
rjl2 May 19, 2009 at 7:17 pm
I don't really think it will happen that soon but if it does I hope I win one!
cuebilbo May 19, 2009 at 7:17 pm
Just last week I bought my first BB and made it a Storm. Hopefully this news of the Storm 2 being released in June doesn't mean that an OS update for the original has been scrapped.
captaintokyo May 19, 2009 at 7:18 pm

The sooner the better....but they need to come correct with the "Deuce".......I've been a storm owner since day 1 and i'm happy with it but i'm hoping to be BLoW awAy the 2nd time around.....I'll take it....
Vegas863 May 19, 2009 at 7:19 pm
Here's hoping that June turns out to be a great release month! I would love to get my hands on one to check out the new truepress feature.

I agree. I don't think it will make out before August, but who knows.
huskyfan May 19, 2009 at 7:19 pm
this touchscreen actually looks to be worth a purchase but not worth a switch in carriers
widemanelliott May 19, 2009 at 7:19 pm

THAT STORM 2 LOOKS TOO SWEET! I REALLY HOPE THAT THEY MAKE IT A REAL IPHONE COMPETITOR!
MrWireless31 May 19, 2009 at 7:21 pm
Gets more love than the Storm... How can VZW hype this thing like the invention of the wheel and then release ONE official OS upgrade 2 weeks after launch and then proceed to ignore the product for the rest of its life. Thank goodness for Crackberry!
B-rizzle May 19, 2009 at 7:21 pm

Love my Storm (running .132) despite its imperfections. Thanks for the potential shot at winning the Storm 2!
philtor May 19, 2009 at 7:22 pm
Dibs!
HopHead33 May 19, 2009 at 7:22 pm
I'd be happy giving my storm to the wife for a storm 2
HankdaTank May 19, 2009 at 7:22 pm
i doubt that it will come out in june. BUT LETS HOPE SO!
md12 May 19, 2009 at 7:22 pm
way to go, this idea is tons of fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Enriqueftw May 19, 2009 at 7:23 pm
oh yeah! i REALLY hope it comes out in june. i cannot deal with my storm anymore!
crustythclown May 19, 2009 at 7:23 pm
I'm in.
varmillion May 19, 2009 at 7:23 pm
I'll take a free Storm 2 if I win and still buy a 9630
fried00 May 19, 2009 at 7:23 pm
Now that Verizon will forget all about the storm 1 owners, I will need the Storm 2 to keep up.
So please, please, please let me win this one.......
enomooshiki May 19, 2009 at 7:23 pm
But I just got Storm!
hmm i wonder if it will have wifi...
Laa2004 May 19, 2009 at 7:23 pm
I Have the first storm(was on the bell list to get it). I love the concept and the applications...the speed on the other hand...even with the software updates(by the time bell push's them) don't really help .The lack wifi is really bothersome espically when in large buildings with bad cdma/gsm coverage...
I dont mind providing a review or videos or feedback ...
thanks
Syros May 19, 2009 at 7:23 pm
hoping to see Storm 2 ....
visht May 19, 2009 at 7:24 pm
nobody wins!
tek.1231 May 19, 2009 at 7:24 pm
It'll be worth all the contests I didn't win on Crackberry.com in the past and the future if I can just win THIS contest!
southjersey786 May 19, 2009 at 7:24 pm
I want the storm 2 yeaa, I highly doubt it'll be available this soon but lets see what happens
dfsinc May 19, 2009 at 7:24 pm
Okay why not, put me in for a chance to win one if the Storm 2 comes out that soon!
akira751#CB May 19, 2009 at 7:24 pm
But I like free.............
lucky1thanx May 19, 2009 at 7:24 pm
I just want to win one.
Wait! That IS a comment!
lol
blunt420 May 19, 2009 at 7:25 pm
ill betcha a os comes out before the storm 2
isaacleese May 19, 2009 at 7:25 pm
This one should be good. :D
c.avery May 19, 2009 at 7:25 pm
I'm excited. I hope there's some improvement in speed and memory, but I'm sure it will be excellent.
Smokotoks May 19, 2009 at 7:25 pm
Oh man this would be awesome... Thanks for any opportunity! And good luck all, IF we get the chance to win!!!
chilisteve May 19, 2009 at 7:25 pm
Hope this one is fixed. Maybe if that's the case, they'll have an update for the original. It's a LOVE/HATE relationship right now.
santos2088 May 19, 2009 at 7:26 pm
Hopefully this time it wont have as many bugs but the phone looks pretty hot!!!
intellax May 19, 2009 at 7:26 pm
my super secret vzw ninja says june 13th. or i totally made that up, who cares?
jmbladel May 19, 2009 at 7:26 pm
Would your insurance cover this? ;)
jessikaboom May 19, 2009 at 7:26 pm
i hope i hope !!
kenjwv4 May 19, 2009 at 7:26 pm
any idea of storm 1 users will get a break on an upgrade? Wishful thinking perhaps.
douglasfamily May 19, 2009 at 7:26 pm
Another chance for me to win. Yay me
OneTouch May 19, 2009 at 7:26 pm
The probability of Verizon giving all "Storm 1" users a free "Storm 2" in June is greater than my chances of winning with posting a comment on Crackberry. Either way I still end-up with my "Storm 1" that I love......
neocaster May 19, 2009 at 7:27 pm
I see this hitting shelves October 1 at the earliest in 2009. I'd like to see it sooner so I can scoop up a Storm 1 cheap. I watch bleeding edge stuff, but I don't have the wallet to be an early adopter.
cckeeper2 May 19, 2009 at 7:27 pm
they have the technology....
ahouse86 May 19, 2009 at 7:27 pm
as always thanks for the opportunity crackberry
aceofspades923 May 19, 2009 at 7:28 pm
thanks crackberry
missmakalia May 19, 2009 at 7:29 pm
I love it and cant wait I love my curve but a storm 2 would be awesome
maninder007 May 19, 2009 at 7:29 pm
With iphone and palm pre coming out next month , it will be logical for RIM to release storm2 next month
todd123 May 19, 2009 at 7:29 pm
Why not recall all of our Storms and give us all new ones? Hey I'd be happy with an official VZW OS update...
griffin.ge May 19, 2009 at 7:29 pm
Not going to be released, but better safe than sorry! if it does come out, and I win one, how amazing would that be!?
kalyx May 19, 2009 at 7:29 pm
Please please can I have 1? I love my Storm, but a dirty threesome would be heaps better!
otto May 19, 2009 at 7:30 pm
I want one of those and I have yet to win something!
s0ul_sniper May 19, 2009 at 7:30 pm
Hopefully the new storm won't have 4.7.0.75 on it!!!
brendanpsmith May 19, 2009 at 7:30 pm
wow... this would be awesome. i myself wouldnt buy one because chances are very high it wont support LTE. but if it were free i would love one!
jcrdz May 19, 2009 at 7:30 pm
Im a TMobile customer so just got my hands on the 8900 but a Storm 2 will be great!!!!
Thanks CB!!!!
JCR
tigerhoodz06 May 19, 2009 at 7:30 pm
I hope they release it on June 1st so I can win one. I also hope the update the software for storm 1 first.
pooginowski May 19, 2009 at 7:30 pm
Count me in for one. please...
douglasfamily May 19, 2009 at 7:30 pm
Another chance for me to win. Yay me
jimmy j the toolman May 19, 2009 at 7:30 pm
Its sad that Verizon cant approve a new OS for the 9530 before they approve a new Storm.(BULLCRAP)
synwars May 19, 2009 at 7:31 pm
I think not. Look at the flurry of activity! Count me in! Thanks for the chance!
mysticv6 May 19, 2009 at 7:31 pm
Here's hoping for a June 1st release!!!
GooTz66 May 19, 2009 at 7:31 pm
to all the news and details that will be coming out in the next few weeks! I cant wait to get my Storm 2!!!
Soze May 19, 2009 at 7:31 pm
My Pearl trackball doesn't work... I could definitely use the upgrade. PICK ME! PICK ME!
noonan211 May 19, 2009 at 7:31 pm
Thanks for the contest!
topherhitchings May 19, 2009 at 7:31 pm
yes! this is awesome! my birthday is in june and this would be an awesome birthday present!
monoxcide May 19, 2009 at 7:31 pm
Unless I somehow win this Storm 2, I might be throwing my current Storm through Verizon CEO's window and buying an Iphone. Unless Verizon magically gets the Iphone or the Storm 2's OS works on Storm 1. Both of which I don't see Verizon being nice enough to facilitate.
It's not even a year! I never thought the good news of free phone would make me so angry.
hogan May 19, 2009 at 7:32 pm
Let's hear for fixing the Storm's image.
wahoooob May 19, 2009 at 7:32 pm
pick me please. I don't bite...
fettkether22 May 19, 2009 at 7:32 pm
I CANT WAIT FOR THIS PHONE TO COME OUT!!! I HAVE A CURVE CAUSE I DIDNT WANT TO GET THE STORM 1 CAUSE I REALLY WANTED THE NEWER ONE!! HOPEFULLY I WIN!!! THAT WOULD BE THE BEST THING EVER!!!!! IM KEEPING MY FINGERS CROSSED!!! I LOVE THE BLACKBERRY STORM!!!!!!
djuro#cb May 19, 2009 at 7:32 pm
Here's hoping it releases on time!
outdoorguy1002 May 19, 2009 at 7:32 pm
I would love to get a free Storm 2.
Law2138 May 19, 2009 at 7:33 pm
This post is exploding with comments! Yes, I already posted and no, I dont think posting more than once will increase my chances. 2 hours ago, there were 144 comment and now there are over 1,900.
jakeameyers May 19, 2009 at 7:33 pm
...BlackBerry makes us wait until June 29 for the Storm Two.
Pinjo May 19, 2009 at 7:33 pm
I think you are safe with this one Kevin. July would even be interesting considering the 1st rev. My guess is the June rumor is based on RIM finishing the project and certifying complete via QA.
In any event, lets go June 1st!
Taka13 May 19, 2009 at 7:33 pm
Hopefully the new storm will be a huge improvement in terms of software to the current storm as the current one doesn't really live up to the BlackBerry standard right now so I'm biding my time with a Bold till the Storm 2 arrives!
kdossett May 19, 2009 at 7:34 pm
I so want a storm and my carrier doesn't sell them!
Vicious_Cid May 19, 2009 at 7:34 pm
Launch STORM 2 in June 1st for the win!
kpd1999 May 19, 2009 at 7:34 pm
Maybe Verizon will suprise us and give it Wi-fi?
jjhelgeson May 19, 2009 at 7:34 pm
I love my storm, I'm sure I'll love the next one :)
silinthar May 19, 2009 at 7:34 pm
I wanna me a new Storm.
jeszerr May 19, 2009 at 7:34 pm
I Hope its june 1st and i hope i get one!
killakonceptz01 May 19, 2009 at 7:34 pm
Just based on the fact that I put up with all the glitches on the original Storm from the day it came out until now I think I should win the Storm 2
jphillips10 May 19, 2009 at 7:34 pm
Glad I didn't pick up the storm one since it looks like VZW is just going to leave it in the dust. Please send my brand new Storm 2 to my house. Thanks!
peterr22 May 19, 2009 at 7:34 pm
i want one
Roo4x4 May 19, 2009 at 7:35 pm
I would just love to see this phone soon too. Although I too think it would be later I May even sacrifice my Tour plans for this to play with. I liked the last Storm but couldn't get past the bug issues.
Good luck to all.
tdblof May 19, 2009 at 7:35 pm
cmooonnnnnnnnn june 1st!!!!!!!!
j0hnnyc May 19, 2009 at 7:35 pm
blackberry storm 2 would be niceeee!
Awsumguy46 May 19, 2009 at 7:35 pm
I really hope it comes out in June. I like my Storm but a new one would be awesome.
egads04 May 19, 2009 at 7:35 pm
Love my Storm v1, but it's slowness and restart times are starting to irk me. Looking forward to WiFi and hopefully a faster processor with more memory!
88GTA May 19, 2009 at 7:36 pm
could this be why Verizon hasn't released an OS yet? crackberry, i hope you're prediction is correct so i can replace my Storm 1.
ar4420 May 19, 2009 at 7:36 pm
Not sure a June release is realistic ... how about an official OS release for storm 1? That sounds just as good and is long overdue!
CaesarOnidalaS May 19, 2009 at 7:36 pm
sweet, sign me up
buckken May 19, 2009 at 7:36 pm
I've been back and forth loving, and hating, my Storm. Perhaps Storm 2 will be better.
If not, perhaps a better OS will suffice!
Give me another chance, yet again, to fall in love with a beautiful Storm!
Cheeks614 May 19, 2009 at 7:36 pm
I would love to have this phone
lalu728 May 19, 2009 at 7:36 pm
hope for a June release too and hopefully i will win one too!
emiguez May 19, 2009 at 7:36 pm
Man if i won a blackberry storm i will finally have a good reason to drop my curve! my curve is the best phone i have ever been used to , but ... the storm 2 looks hawt, June 1-30 Get!
Phekal May 19, 2009 at 7:36 pm
should be interesting
njolin May 19, 2009 at 7:37 pm
Count me in the contest.
Thanks
hyopyofu May 19, 2009 at 7:37 pm
Well, My fiance already claimed Dibs on my current Storm if I win this... We'll see
JeffLeeCar May 19, 2009 at 7:37 pm
I want one! :)
Ricardo86xx May 19, 2009 at 7:37 pm

joeyjoejoejr05 May 19, 2009 at 7:37 pm
im so torn... ive been waiting on a tour for 5 months now, but a new storm.... man that might be awesome and too good to pass up. though winning one would only help me out. please?
Xemna May 19, 2009 at 7:37 pm
